Chapter Eighty-Five: The Bitterness of the Past (1)

Because of the exhaustion of the song, I insisted on ordering her to rest in the Jinghua Palace that night, and only allowed her to leave the palace the next day to find out the follow-up information.

The day before yesterday, Qu finally avoided people's eyes and ears and went to the courtyard of the back gate of the Xianglu Palace, called out to Yaomei, and stunned her while she was unprepared. I ordered her to take care of a palace room that few people go to, so I put Yaomei in that place at the end of the song, changed Yaomei's clothes, lit a stick of incense, and locked the door to ensure that Yaomei would not wake up halfway, and prevent others from finding out.

Qu finally took out two wooden boxes from the Mirror Flower Palace, one of which contained Yaomei's human skin mask, and the other was Heavenly Silk. After the disguise was completed, Qu Zhong first went to the Needlework Bureau, took away the spring clothes of Wang Gushan and the rest of the people in the Xianglu Palace, and deliberately passed by Maotong Garden on the way back to the Xianglu Palace, so that the patrol guards could see it.

After handing over the silk and clothes to Concubine Min Xian, Qu Zhong left immediately, and Concubine Min Xian sewed the silk into the neckline of the clothes by herself, and changed her clothes at the appointed time. At the end of the song, he returned to Yaomei's side, replaced the clothes, and the remaining silk was embedded in Yaomei's skirt, leaving enough space outside, and sewing a circle of fabric.

When the case happened in the evening, I had already thought of a way to persuade the queen and Wang Gushan to go to the palace to discuss matters, so that Yaomei could have tea. At the end of the song, Yaomei went around to me when he was about to offer tea to the queen. She spoke out first to get everyone's attention, but since it was nothing to do, it was enough to make them let their guard down and stop paying attention to it. As soon as they looked away, I lifted my toes to signal the end of the song, and she tore off the strip of cloth neatly. The movements in the dim environment were already difficult to see clearly, and I coughed lightly, both covering up and attracting, and the queen and Wang Gushan had no possibility of noticing.

I didn't expect to defeat Wang Gushan in one fell swoop, but who knew that Yaomei gave me such a surprise. At the end of the song, he searched Wang's mansion on the order of Xiao Xuan, and found a piece of heavenly silk in Wang's mansion, which was identified by the craftsman and found that the manufacturing date of the heavenly silk that scratched Concubine Min Xian and Yaomei was very similar. After being tortured, Wang Ren's proud disciple confessed that Wang Ren had already exchanged letters with Hu Ru, secretly collaborating with the enemy, and even colluding with other officials in the DPRK and China to talk freely about his dream of ascending to the throne and taking power in the future. The letters exchanged in many ways were hidden in the secret room of Wang's mansion.

Xiao Xun urgently ordered the Imperial Horse Supervisor to go to the front line to capture Wang Ren back to Zhongshu, and his position was temporarily replaced by the deputy general, and asked Hu Ru for a ten-day truce. Wang Ren was arrested, refused to admit his guilt, refused to go to the Yushitai, used the military talisman as a talisman, stayed in Wang's mansion, and asked to see Xiao Xuan in person.

Xiao Xuan naturally disappeared. Unexpectedly, the next day, a man with a royal token in his hand entered Wang's mansion in a grand manner, beheaded Wang Ren in front of everyone, and took away the talisman. For a while, Liang Hong was rumored to be Xiao Xuan who sent someone to kill Wang Ren directly.

Those who have such courage to openly challenge Xiao Xuan's authority, enter the tiger's den alone, and have the conditions to get the moon first near the water, will only be Xiao Xianhui. After lying dormant for a long time, he had to kill Wang Ren with his own hands, which could be regarded as indirectly avenging Concubine Qian.

On the day Wang Ren was killed, Hu Ru wrote back to Liang Hong, saying that he had agreed to a temporary truce, but the time limit was only five days. The two armies were separated by six miles and repaired separately.

On this day, I was writing a letter to Huan Ke in the Shenbi Hall, but there was a sudden crisp sound from the window of the inner room. I only heard the sound of "Zheng", as if the sword was in the sheath, and I hurriedly got up and walked quickly, facing the previous person wearing armor and turning around to cover my face.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and the moment he pulled off his scarf, I finally called out the name of this long-lost time: "Zhufeng!" ”

“…… Princess. Zhufeng leaned over and saluted, was stopped by me, and raised his head with relief: "I heard that the princess has changed her appearance now, and Zhufeng in the harem of Lianghong has never been here." At first, I was worried that I would not be able to find the princess according to the portrait and location given by the general, but who knew that it would be smooth sailing and rare luck. ”

"Why are you here?" I was surprised and delighted, and turned around and closed the door: "Aren't you waiting for the battle to be repaired these days?" ”

"That's why I had the opportunity to visit the princess. It turned out that the general came in person, and the capital was settled, but the military affairs committee was really busy and could not get out. ”

"You are already tired from fighting and killing the enemy on the battlefield, and since there is a rare time to rest, there are momentary changes on the battlefield, so it is naturally more appropriate to stay in the barracks." I pressed down the slight loss in my heart and wondered, "Why are you here today?" But what happened? ”

"It's because the general misses the princess and can't bear it, so I asked Zhufeng to take a look at the princess, is she also emaciated by lovesickness?" Zhu Feng replied with a smile, was glared at by me with a red face, and quickly whispered softly, and changed his tone: "On the princess's side, how is the situation?" ”

"Wang Ren has been assassinated by the tenth brother. In the harem, Wang Gushan was beaten into the cold palace. It's just that I see, the queen seems to be uneasy about Ling Kun's success in several battles. It is imperative that Wang's weeds and roots be eradicated as soon as possible before he can continue to act. ”

"Then when I return to the camp, I will reply to the general, and wait for time on the battlefield first. When the princess is done here, she will lead troops to continue to conquer. ”

Between the words, Zhufeng took out a package of oiled paper from his arms, looked serious, and raised his eyebrows. I reached out and took it twice, but he avoided it, pretending to be angry before taking it into my hand, first smelling the aroma, I had guessed what it was, I couldn't help but speed up and unwrap it, and when I saw the contents, I couldn't help laughing: "Shortbread!" ”

"I haven't seen Hu Ru since I left him." I hurriedly picked up one and took a bite, smiling: "How do you march and fight and have this thing in style?" ”

"The general knew that the princess would miss the taste, so he brought the cook from the palace with him."

An unnatural flush appeared on Zhufeng's face. I understood, and laughed lightly: "As a result, I haven't eaten it yet, but you've tasted it for a few days, yes or no?" ”

"I ......" scratched his head embarrassedly and sneered, Zhu Fengfang was about to speak, but his expression suddenly froze. Handing me a wary look, he bated his breath and leaned down, slowly moving towards the door as I spoke: "Just blushing or something, I'm ashamed at the moment-"

The door opened suddenly, and before Zhu Feng looked to the right, his arm had already taken a quick step to drag the eavesdropper to the front. Quickly covering the man's mouth and nose with his other hand, Zhufeng dragged the man into the room, and I hurriedly closed the doors and windows.

When he turned around again, Zhu Feng had quickly tied the person and stuffed a silk handkerchief in his mouth.

"Banxia!" I exclaimed in a low voice, my heart suddenly panicked, and I could only look at her mocking and frightened eyes, stunned for a long time.

“…… She is the personal palace maid of Queen Lianghong. Silently, I reluctantly whispered, "She won't be the only one coming." Extrauterine ...... There must be guards. ”

"In any case, this person can't stay." Zhufeng threw me a discerning look. I was slightly stunned, and then I was silent again, and I turned my back in the frightened gaze and useless struggle of Banxia, and I could only hear a muffled grunt when I closed my eyes.

“…… Can you take ...... Do you want to climb out of the palace walls? "Forcing myself to think hard, I gritted my teeth and turned back, not looking at the paralyzed and silent Banxia on the ground.

"It's hard." Zhu Feng shook his head and denied: "Besides, even if I can, the last place where she appeared was the Mirror Flower Palace." Since she has entered the Mirror Flower Palace, the princess can't get out of it anyway. ”

Zhufeng's eyes gradually became resolute. Another panic rose in my heart, which became more and more violent as time passed. Zhufeng has guessed seven points about what he wants to do: "Don't do stupid things." …… Leave quickly, and try to avoid the palace guards. After a cup of tea, I called the guards again, and said that someone had assassinated him. …… Let's go! ”

"The princess knew in her heart that there was no room for turning around in this matter." The words were resolute, Zhu Feng took out a hidden weapon from his arms and knocked open the window lattice, and retreated step by step until he reached the door: "Now Lianghong is a soldier up and down, and everyone is in danger, not to mention the sensitive identity of the princess." The princess didn't have long to delay, and the guards outside the door would be the first to rush in. The gate of Zhongshu will be sealed soon, and I can't escape. ”

“…… No......" I could only shake my head, tears in my eyes, and persuade in vain: "I can come up with a solution for both worlds, I will definitely be able to!" Trust me! You ...... first"

"Meng Futan."

He called me like that all of a sudden. Caught off guard, I half-opened my lips and stood in place blankly: "I, Zhang Zhufeng, the most lively days in this life are when Hu Ru is wanton and happy, when there are groups of brothers around me, free and easy. ”

"The luckiest day, the day I want to go back the most...... It was in the time of Lianghong West Wilderness. ”

"At that time...... I can be justified and upright, call you, and blow the sandalwood. ”

In the silence of the room, Zhu Feng sneered, and was full of spirit: "Surprised, right? I've always kept things to myself. ”

Instead, he restrained his smile, he only looked at me seriously, and I was dumbfounded, barely having the courage to meet his sincere and straightforward eyes: "You won't know that a few years ago, the night before returning to Sang to go to Xingzhou, you told me your true thoughts and told me to keep it secret, saying that it was a secret between the two of us...... At that time, I was happy and sad at the same time. I'm glad you trust me so much that you're willing to tell me what you think. Saddened...... After all, I don't have a chance to take the place of the general in your heart. ”

"If I had been the one who shot that arrow at you at the border of the night, I would have been the first to talk to you, and I would have been the one who had exchanged your name and made a goodbye promise with you...... That's it. ”

"Actually, I made this shortbread myself. The cook was so timid that he returned to the palace in embarrassment before he entered the territory of Lianghong. Before he left, I asked him for the formula, and the general was full of praise, so I brought it to you today. ”

“…… Whisk sandalwood. I really ......."

"I like you very much."

With his hands folded, he covered his mouth and sobbed silently, and it was difficult for me to stop Zhu Feng from kicking open the door, running to the hall and breaking all the furnishings, and then returning to me, gently touching a certain acupuncture point on my body.

Falling into his arms with tears in his eyes, he whispered softly from a distance of my ear: "I'll be selfish this time." ”

The doors of the temple were wide open, and the guards poured in. The eyes were full of swords and sword shadows, and I was gently put on the ground, listening to Zhufeng's loud reprimand, and blood dripped on my face: "I am Wang Shangshu's retainer!" ”

"I wanted to find Xiao Xuan's location for the adults and kill him in one fell swoop! It's a pity ......"

I tilted my head and looked desperately at Zhufeng's unrecognizable face. Black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Looking down at me, he opened his lips silently.

"Princess."

He said. Smile.

"I want to ...... with the general"

He finally fell calmly, calmly, and with peace of mind.
